Can't help you - the best I've got is $10 back on $50, $10 back on $100 and $10 back on $150 (why oh why?). But the coupon wording doesn't exclude LEGO, perhaps there is a Fam & Friends or Member event going?

You're a SYW veteran, so these questions are probably irrelevant, but for the heck of it:

Have you tried manually adding the coupon code when checking out?

Are you perhaps combining with other offers (though not excluded in the above text)?

Is this perhaps one of those "points will be credited later and will not be visible on your checkout page" kind of deals?

Have you tried placing your order via phone to see whether they know how to apply the coupon?

I've never tried placing an order by phone.  The savings aren't good enough for me to do that.  If they gave them to me for free over the phone, I might try it.

I was able to get it to apply at Sears.com, so that's good enough for me.

Thanks...

I assume for LEGO from Kmart via Sears, correct?

Yes, it will work for both.

Is there a trick to see which items qualify for the SYW offers? All of the ones I add to cart do not qualify.

Hot buy items don't qualify.  You can find that below the price.

most of the good sets are hot buy items.

Usually, most that are not Hot Buy.  As I experienced today, try from both Sears.com and Kmart.com. The game is always changing and I'm supposed to say it's fun.

Yes I did know that. The item isn't a HOT Buy item.

Was trying to apply a $10 off $30 on a City deep sea set.

I don't typically use SYW b/c it's such a pain for me to apply the offers they tease me with.

Hot Buy restrictions do not apply in store, if you have a store close by just go in and purchase.

Sale prices often don't apply in store either.

And I have $10.00 in surprise points to use... again. Kmart, please stop throwing money at me !

 

(just kidding keep it coming, I'm getting used to $3 battle packs)

$3 battle packs are my go to item for this deal

I've gotten (and used) my third $12 off $30 in a row now.  It'd be nice to start rolling into the other stuff.  I'll take $3 battle packs!

Any trick getting this stuff to apply? I have $10 in surprise points for Kmart and I've tried ordering a battle pack through kmart.com, sears.com, and shopyourway.com and none of them will apply the points.

Surprise points for what?  General merchandise or a specific category?  Do you have to spend so much for the points to apply?

It's literally just $10 in free points for use at Kmart; no spending requirements or exclusions other than allegedly " Excludes grocery, pet supplies, household cleaning, and beauty & health care"

The battle packs even show up with a "REDEEM POINTS" icon on them but it simply won't apply.

Have you tried checking out?  Does it show that you have $10 extra in points waiting when you add it to your cart?

Just came back from one of my kmarts, used surprised points for the first time, I had $12, bought Lego green lantern for $20, my final cost was $11.

+1 to what Exciter said. Proceed all the way to the "Payment & Billing" section of checkout. It should show up there.

I've gone as far as the part where I enter my credit card and it doesn't show the points anywhere. There is no indication anywhere that I have these points other than in the "Surprise Points" tab on shopyourway.com, and in the email I got about them.

Managed to get it working though... apparently it wasn't working on SYW or Sears because the items were SOLD by Kmart, but FULFILLED by Sears... and the Kmart website was doing the same thing, so I switched over to Store Pickup and it's applying now. Reminds me of why I stopped using SYW in the first place.

Anyway, any recommendation on which battle pack to get? This will be my first battle pack but from what I can see pretty much all of them go up in value roughly the same. My choices are Shadow Troopers, Imperial Troop Transport, Geonosis Troopers, Resistance Troopers, First Order, and Senate Commando. I'm leaning towards the Commandos because they are only $11 and would be essentially free with the $1 points back.

Troop Transport would be my recommendation.

Cool. I shall defer to your wisdom here.

I picked up a ton of these for $9 and they sell easily at $12.99- $13.99 on BL, in the long run this one would probably do the best as well.

 

 

On another note, I just found out that my $10 is in store only. Nearest Kmart is 20 minutes away..

OK, I just received my VIP April Statement.  Funny, they are letting me pick more reward benefits.  The 100% back on single item up to $50 is back, so I could load it.  I also was able to load other coupons like the $10 back on $10 and the $60/$110 points back on Auto purchase.  Go check your benefits and see if you might be eligible for more stuff.

I already picked the $20 back on $40 sometime last week.
